130th Engineer Brigade

The 130th Engineer Brigade was originally constituted in 1943 as the 1303rd Engineer General Service Regiment and served with distinction in the European Theater during World War II. Reorganized and redesignated several times, the unit became the 130th Engineer Brigade in 1969 and provided vital engineering support in Vietnam, including construction, mobility, and infrastructure development. Throughout the Cold War and into the 21st century, the brigade was stationed in Germany, supporting U.S. Army Europe and participating in key operations such as Operation Joint Endeavor in Bosnia and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Today, the 130th Engineer Brigade is based at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, and continues to provide multi-role engineer capabilities in support of U.S. Army Pacific operations.
